A little personal blog.
Hello and welcome to today's journal entry. Last week I found my old Madrid pocket notebook that I bought in Spain last summer. I've been conflicted on what to use this notebook for. I decided to make my little Madrid notebook into an everyday carry pocket notebook. Now, I'm able to jot down ideas and thoughts and limit my screen time. It's been wonderful! Today I want to share with you all a poem I wrote in my little notebook a few days ago. Let's jump in!
Hello and welcome to today's journal entry. I've expressed on this blog that one of my favorite hobbies is postcard writing. There is something personal and heartfelt about writing postcards to people that I can't get enough of. With postcards, the writer has to face their heart and creativity to craft the card. For the reader, they get to experience the love, time, and spirit of their beloved writer who wrote their card. It's a joyful experience that I would love to share with you all. Let's jump in, shall we?
A few days ago I was scrolling through YouTube’s free movies list because I was trying to see if the film Apocalypse Now was available. I wanted to watch the movie because it's loosely based on one of my favorite books, Heart of Darkness. This morning, I decided to talk about it for this week's book review. Let’s jump in!
A few days ago, I was sitting in my room wondering what artwork I should study this week. All of a sudden, an old painting that I used to adore came to mind. I haven’t studied this painting in a while, nor did I know much about it from the start. I would love to share with you all the wonderful things I learned about this week's painting. Let’s jump in!
Today I was cleaning my room, and I found an old journal hidden deep within my bookshelf. I took a look inside and found some old poems! I wanted to share the poem "Open Wound" with you all. It may not be the best, but I think it's important to reflect on our creative journey and see how far we've grown.
For years I have struggled with burnout when it comes to my hobbies. Fortunately, I have learned a few tricks to help me get over these difficult seasons. If you're in the same boat, then you've come to the right spot. Let's jump in.
Hamlet is indeed a masterpiece for many reasons. I want to reread this play again and study it a little more because I feel like there are still elements that I’ve missed. I definitely recommend reading this play, my dear readers.
As I was thinking about what artwork I should discuss for this week, I decided to pay some homage to my dad. A painter that my dad enjoys and knows so much about is Francisco De Goya. Today, I would like to share one of my favorite paintings from my dad’s favorite Spanish painter! Let's jump in, shall we?
This is where I will love you, my dear sandy plains/My empty pot where my new journey lays/ The marking of a beginning in the red sand/I feel my roots reviving in the sand The canyon greeting me and giving me the sun /Let me feel your warm embrace/Guide my orange flower my little sun/And shower me with your love, oh fiery one
There is so much beauty in summer; when you step outside, the trees sway their deep green leaves, flowers are fully blossomed, showing their intricate designs, and newborn animals are learning how to go about the world. It is a wonderful time of year. However, there are days when boredom takes away the fun of summer. We get stuck in our rooms waiting for the long day to be done with. If that is you right now, then you've come to the right place. Today I want to share a few wholesome outdoor activities that you can do this summer.
